Overall everything was amazing at Four Father’s, the staff were extremely friendly and professional and the final set up was more then I could have ever wished for. Unfortunately the overall cleanliness was horrible, seconds before walking down the isle I noticed the train on my dress was black and wet with an unknown liquid from their floors ( I am still not able to get the blackness out of my WHITE dress) and by the end of the night my guests feet were completely black from the dance floor (it looked like they stepped in black paint). The funny part is we were kicked out of our rehearsal dinner early because the “cleaners” were coming to clean…

Amazing location, staff and party!
We recently threw a surprise 50th birthday party for my wife at the IV loft. While I know this is not a wedding, I cannot say enough good things about Four Fathers Brewing Co and needed to write a review. First of all, the communication with Nicole was perfect. She answered all of my questions and was extremely helpful. Next up; the staff working the event. Shoutout to Kristina and Leah for keeping the drinks flowing, while also ensuring the safety of all guests. Copeland, the bar back, was also helpful with setup and maintaining an organized event!
The venue and bathrooms remained clean throughout the event & we also enjoyed the bean bag toss and ping pong tables set out for us.
I would recommend this venue to anyone thinking about having an event whether that be a wedding or not.
Thanks to Nicole, Kristina, Leah, Copeland and Four Fathers Brewing Co.

Beautiful mix of industrial and rustic
The venue itself is absolutely beautiful! Knowing the history of the building and how the kept the historical value of it with a modern twist was absolutely beautiful! We were able to drop off decorations and set things up the night before as well had access to the whole venue all day! Ended up doing my makeup and getting dressed there in the bridal suite bathroom they have. Love the individual bathrooms instead of bathroom stalls as well. Had access to the whole venue for photos as well. Despite the staff changes that happened, they were able to make my dream wedding come to life. Was even able to play a slideshow on one of the TV's by the bar. And their craft beer is so delicious! Can't wait to celebrate many anniversaries there in the restaurant downstairs!

Amazing venue space - and great beer!
Back at the end of summer 2019, my husband proposed to me at the event space that is now known as IV Loft. The space was still under construction but in that moment, we knew we would get married here. Fast forward to Sept 2020 and we did just that.
The space is so beautiful on its own with the dreamy string lights and plenty of natural light. We kept the decor to a minimal with plenty of greenery and it was perfection. I've visited the space plenty of times beforehand but I was still blown away when we arrived here on our wedding day.
Due to COVID, we had to make some pretty significant changes to our plans. Michelle at Four Fathers was amazing to work with, her easygoing and kind demeanor definitely put a stressed out bride at ease. I can't wait to see more weddings take place here as it truly is such a lovely space. There's so many photo opportunities on the property as well as a short walk up to the river and downtown. It's easy to get to, plenty of parking space and while you're there, grab a few beers to take home from the Taproom downstairs!

Amazing Winter Wedding
We immediately fell in love with the IV Loft at Four Fathers. The space is rustic, industrial but so romantic and allows any couple to put their unique touch on the day. We really enjoyed working with Michelle and Kira throughout the ever evolving 2020. Michelle was always responsive, helpful and always willing to be flexible for us. We had to make a lot of changes and amendments to meet Public Health guidelines, but Four Fathers was always keen to help us. We had the most magical day in a safe, and comfortable environment while abiding by all restrictions and guidelines. I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day!

Perfect Intimate Brewery Wedding
Michelle and the staff of Four Fathers gave us everything we could have asked for! The brewery's upper floor is a loft space and we were given full reign for the evening. There are awesome spots to take photos, and since the loft capacity is 175, there was more than enough room for our group of 40 to have dinner and dance. The food and drinks were great too--highly recommend!
